Theater Wins Parking Variance

May 22, 1996|By Suzanne Baker.

Batavia: — Four screens will be added to the Randall 10 Theater along Randall Road, but parking spaces won't.

The City Council Monday allowed owner Goodrich Quality Theaters Inc. to offer one parking space for every 3.6 theater seats instead of the required 1-3 ratio. Randall 10 provides 712 parking spaces. The four new movie screens will bring the seat count up to 2,565.

Three aldermen objected to the variance. Ald. Scott Burns (7th) said the theater has space near Randall Road where parking could be added to comply with city codes.

Bill McManus of Goodrich Theaters said experience has shown that 712 parking spaces would be adequate.
